how_it_works
Corvynel is a workflow between the desktop app, the browser extension, and AI chat pages. Start with setup, then move into insert, clipboard capture, diff review, and controlled apply.

DOWNLOAD DESKTOP APP
Install the Electron desktop app first. It is the secure local bridge that reads your project, builds bundles, captures diffs, and applies approved changes.
quick_start / step_02
terminal_action
Corvynel will choose the correct desktop download for Mac or Windows automatically.
INSTALL GOOGLE EXTENSION
Install the Google Chrome extension next. It gives you the Corvynel workflow directly inside ChatGPT, Claude, and DeepSeek pages.
quick_start / step_03
terminal_action
Use this button as the main operator action for this step.
SELECT PROJECT FOLDER
Open the Electron app and choose the project folder you want to work with. Corvynel indexes the tree and prepares it for insert, diff, and apply flows.
quick_start / step_04
OPEN CHROME + ENABLE EXTENSION
Go to a supported AI chat page in Google Chrome and open the extension side panel. That connects the page workflow to your local bridge.
quick_start / step_05
PICK FILES, INSERT, AND START CODING
Choose the files you need in the project tree, insert them into the chat input, and send your request. This is where the chat-to-code loop begins.

INSERT MODE
Insert Mode lets you send selected files and folders into the active AI chat input. It keeps context structured and avoids manual copy-paste of scattered snippets.
feature / insert_mode
PROMPT BLOCK
The insert flow can include a prompt block so the model returns output in a format that is ready for the Clipboard workflow later. You can also change that prompt in settings.
feature / prompt_block
CLIPBOARD MODE + DIFF REVIEW + APPLY / CANCEL
After the AI generates code, copy the result and Clipboard Mode captures it. Corvynel parses structured file changes, shows diffs, and lets you decide whether to apply or cancel.
feature / clipboard_diff_review
AUTOMATIC BACKUPS
Before local changes are applied, Corvynel keeps backups available so you can move faster with a safer rollback path.
feature / backups
PICK MODE
Turn on Pick Mode, highlight text on the AI page, and Corvynel detects path-like references from that selection. Matching files are then surfaced in the project tree.
feature / pick_mode
SETTINGS / PROMPT EDITING
You can update the prompt behavior in settings later, so the workflow stays flexible for different models, response formats, and team conventions.
